Woody Woodman at Clewley's Saturday Night

There will be good sounds at the restaurant Saturday night. And I hear the menu has added roast pork. Better get there early if you want any of that!

The band plays on the first floor in the area usually used for the salad bar or the buffet for the Sunday brunch. It's a good group and includes a keyboard, drums, sax, singer and I don't know what else. Sounds like a full dance band - which probably accounts for the couples who dance all over the place. (And don't forget to leave room for the outstanding ice cream!) The full bar is upstairs on the second floor.

I've been amazed (and entertained) by the yellow finches, red-headed woodpeckers, chipmunks, and hummingbirds - not to mention new birds I've never seen before all gathering around the bird feeder on the back porch and hanging flowers. Now, if we could just get some decent weather and send the mosquitoes on their way! BUT - if you've seen those TV commercials for that product you can clip on your waist that has the little fan and sends mosquitoes away... they really work!!!

I bought some at Hannafords last week for working in the yard. They have two batteries (included) - AA, I think, that generate the fan and there's a scent that you insert (instructions included in the original packet - refills available). There's an on/off switch the wearer can push so you only use the batteries/scent when you want to. And the thing really does work as far as mosquitoes are concerned. But black flies are impervious to the thing. Darn!

I don't remember the cost but I think it was somewhere around $5.00 per. I don't remember the cost of the refills (there are two per packet though). Caution: If you clip it on your waist, be sure not to have clothing cover the thing. You need the whole thing exposed to the air to send the mosquitoes somewhere else. :-)

If you didn't read yesterday's blog re: the voting results on the School Budget - Clifton passed the budget by only 3 votes (of a total 61 votes cast) - and Eddington passed it by only 14 (of a total 116 votes cast). Of course there are 1600 registered voters in Eddington so you should have some idea how disgusted I am about the poor citizenship in this town. One has to wonder what our schools are teaching regarding citizenship. Not much apparently.
